- To solve this problem, the best course of action is to first plot the points of the parallelogram on a coordinate plane.
- Next, we can trace out the dimensions of the parallelogram from the coordinate plane.
- Then, we can find the area of the parallelogram using the formula given below:
[tex]A=\text{base}\times\text{height}[/tex]
Solution
Plotting the coordinates:
Dimensions of the parallelogram;
The only two dimensions we need here are the base of the parallelogram and the height.
These are illustrated in the diagram below:
Thus, we can conclude that:
height = 5 units
base = 6 units.
Find the area of the parallelogram:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=\text{base}\times\text{height} \\ \text{Area}=5\times6 \\ \\ \therefore\text{Area}=30\text{units}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer
The area of the parallelogram is 30 square units
